Jordan Catholic School -

Ms. Nimrick's 2nd grade is a busy place! Students used their skills to tackle the Math concept of place value. The students moved effortlessly between small group instruction, digital math practice and partner work with leadership assignments. One lucky duck was spotted "doing the right thing" and will receive a shout out at the end of the day! Ms. Nimrick also tracks positive behavior by tallying classroom instances of following procedures. If the teacher prompts are less than their tallies of following procedures, the whole classroom is celebrated! What an encouraging classroom that balances rigor and engagement with a routine environment.

Mr. Baresel earned a shout out from a student in his 8th grade social studies class.
Orthodontic Group holds a contest called "Too Cool for School" and Mr. B received the following comments: My favorite thing about Mr. B is he really helps us when we are learning. He has a great approach when teaching, like"this day in history" where we learn about something that happened on a certain day in history. He also makes his classes really fun and that is why he is my favorite teacher.
Way to go Mr. Baresel, thank you for connecting with our students.

The 7th grade reenacted the Boston Massacre through a short play in Mr. Baresel's Social Studies class. The colonists fell to the ground and the spark of liberty was ignited!

Mr. Baresel's 6th Grade Social Studies class dove deep into ancient Egyptian culture by recreating the mummification process! Students paired up & used materials like toilet paper to carefully wrap their classmates, gaining an incredible hands-on understanding of this historical practice. The class got wrapped up in the history of Egypt!

🎃 The Daughters of the King kicked off Halloween morning with the Jack-O-Lantern Parable — He can take us, carve out all of the yucky goop (like our mistakes, failures, and sins), put the light of Christ inside of us, and help us shine for all to see — a great reminder of the beautiful promises we have in Jesus! 👑✨

Our 3rd graders really enjoyed their trip to the Buffalo Pumpkin Patch. They went on a hayrack ride, explored a corn maze, and fed the animals in the petting zoo! They even met two 6 week old calves too!

Mr. B keeps his students busy! His 6th-grade social studies class learned & presented about the great, lasting achievements of Ancient Mesopotamia. These achievements included the 60-minute hour, the first recorded laws (the Code of Hammurabi), the sailboat, the first writing system (cuneiform) and the religious ideas of Mesopotamia, including the start of monotheism (belief in one, true God). 💙💛

The 6th-grade students in Mr. B's social studies class learned about the first system of writing-cuneiform-by creating their own cuneiform tablets using the wedge shaped writing of the Ancient Mesopotamians. The 6th graders all agreed that while it was fun to write in clay they will no longer complain about paper and pencil. 📝

Last week, our 7th graders went on a field trip to Nahant Marsh. They were able to participate in a pond study to help identify invertebrate and bugs in the marsh land. They discussed ways to know if a water way is healthy.

Students also had team building activities as well as went in a nature hike to observe and discuss the marsh land and identify plants to stay safe on a hike.

JCS Grandparents & Grandfriends! You're invited to join us for our JCS Grandparents Day on Wednesday, Oct 29! Detailed info was sent home in our weekly newsletter, so make sure to ask your Jordan students. 💙💛
